Research direction

Start by locating the code that handles file selection in the Projects view and reveals or selects the file in the VS Code Workspace (Explorer) view. Review how existing configuration options are defined, then verify that the new setting preserves the current behavior when enabled and prevents automatic reveal when disabled.

Description

Description

I would like to request a configuration option to disable the automatic synchronization from the Projects view to the VS Code Workspace (Explorer) view.

Currently, when a file is selected in the Projects view, it is automatically revealed and selected in the Workspace view by default. I would appreciate an option to turn this behavior off.

Use case/motivation

In some workflows, this automatic reveal is distracting and interferes with independent navigation between the two views. Making this behavior configurable (enabled/disabled) would provide more flexibility and align with different user preferences.
